The HUB is home to a number of art pieces throughout the building. The HUB Permanent Art Collection was initiated in 1998 to showcase the creative talent of students at the University of Washington. Acquiring and exhibiting art created exclusively by students supports their diverse artistic and creative abilities, encourages the expression of ideas and aesthetic concepts, and contributes significantly to the character of the HUB. Mediums currently represented by the Collection include paintings, mixed media, print, lithographs and photography.

The Director’s Award

To foster the intellectual and creative strengths of our students, the Director’s Award rewards excellence by purchasing artwork from the Bachelors and Masters of Fine Arts shows. Members of the Award Committee visit each show at least twice and select several finalists at the end of spring quarter. With this award, our hope is that the HUB Permanent Art Collection will continue to be a unique and important contribution to student life and the campus community.
